Capture - Quick Notes
Add, search, and manage notes in Capture without leaving Raycast. Requires Capture 2.15 or later.Capture
Add, find, and manage notes in Capture without leaving Raycast.
Requirements
- Capture for macOS 2.15 or later, which bundles the helper this extension calls
- Capture installed normally as
/Applications/Capture.app
No configuration is required for a normal installation. The extension automatically uses the helper bundled with Capture at:
/Applications/Capture.app/Contents/Helpers/CaptureCLI.app/Contents/MacOS/capture-cli
If you move or rename Capture, update CLI Path in Raycast Settings → Extensions → Capture.
Commands
- Add Capture — add text or a URL and optionally choose a list.
- Quick Capture — save directly from Raycast's root search.
- Capture Clipboard — save the current clipboard text or file.
- Search Captures — search, filter, open, archive, restore, or delete captures.
- Create List — create a Capture list from the root search.
Raycast AI
Mention @capture in Raycast AI to add, find, update, open, archive, or organize captures using natural language.
Troubleshooting
If a command reports that capture-cli could not be found:
- Confirm that Capture is installed in
/Applications. - Update Capture to 2.15 or later from sir.studio/capture.
- Check CLI Path in the extension settings if you use a custom app location.
Development
Build the Capture.macOS scheme first, then run:
npm ci
npm run dev
For a DerivedData build, set CLI Path to the nested executable inside the Debug Capture.app product.
